This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American.
The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Sat. Aug 5, 1961

Up at 6.15 and saw Dick off at 6.45. Finished prunes and had coffee. Wrote in diary. Head still hurts when I chew. Cloudy. Cleaned our room. Packed the car and left for Lins after Dick came home.
Carried in the bureau that Shepards had delivered and the Fredericks had taken in their house when it threatened to rain.
In Eve. Larry and family came over and put Lin’s door awning together. To bed at 9.00. Slept fine.
